Sub-Diffraction Confinement of Photons using Surface Plasmon and Surface Phonon Polariton Nanostructures

Due: May 1, 2025

$99,200

Description

Opportunities are available to participate in our research, which focuses on investigating the subdiffraction limit confinement and manipulation of light within the optical frequency regime (ultraviolet to midinfrared) using nanostructures. This involves either the use of random or periodic arrays of plasmonic or surface phonon polariton materials, such as plasmonic metals (silver, gold) or dielectric materials (e.g., silicon, silicon carbide, III-N). We are looking for an experimentalist who will handle both the fabrication an...

Grantor Contact InformationCory David Cress, Phone: 202.767.3462Grantor Emailcory.d.cress2.civ@us.navy.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
